heterogeneous regulars at a coffee shop

When they left the coffee shop they each took off to different places. But while there, they all looked identical: dressed in comparable trendy outfits, same lame color trench coats, black umbrellas to shield from rain drops emanating from one super cloud. They wore a regular banal look on their faces analogous to the blank music fusion they were listening to. Neutral color, trendy watches, same careful expressions. Immersed in their phones and laptops, they just mumbled similar automatic syllables of gratitude when their coffees arrive to their table. The waiter was aware of their affected preferences.  A group of moms were meeting after their usual morning walks that religiously follows kids’ drop off routine at the local school. They seemed busy while in fact this coffee “break” was the highlight of their day. Their identical sweatsuits with some glittery script on the back, symmetric pony tails... They were comparing their kids' after school activities, showing off each about their little ones’ high achievements. In the background, a secretary had taken time off for her lunch break : the artist wanna-be was trying to be cooler than yesterday,, the older CEO was trying to look cooler and carefree to impress the younger intern... The housewife who was once an MD was reminiscing of her busy meaningful days .. And there was that quiet woman with the darker shades... When they left, they all headed in different directions. Houses, kitchens, dark hotel rooms, hospital, school staff rooms, college library, flower shop, gym, another coffee shop,.... and the woman with the dark shades headed back to the asylum, ,, her 12 hour release was about to expire.
